Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the world, the demand for platinum increases year by year. Platinum is one of the urgently needed minerals in China, which supports the development of many strategic emerging industries. Therefore, it is significant to research on the present situation of global platinum resources and China's demand trend in the future. In this paper, the distribution, reserves, production and demand data of platinum resources in the world is collected and collated, involving its main producing countries, enterprises and application fields, etc., and the global supply and demand situation of platinum in China is basically understood. Research shows that China will still require a huge amount of platinum resources in the future, by 2030 China's demand for platinum is expected to reach 116 tons, but the platinum supply in China is small, highly dependents on foreign imports. Platinum metal resources concentrated in South Africa, Russia and other countries, need to increase reserves, expand overseas share ownership and pay attention to secondary recycling of platinum group metals.
